Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang reflect on aging and TV characters (Part 3)

Apartment. And then I immediately got into a relationship, and I was excited about being in it, but I also was mourning a little bit. Like, it would have been fun to be single. It would have been fun to go out and do whatever, but I kind of just told myself, like, I have a good situation, and I like being in it. Yes. And so now that. That's, like, petered out in. In, like, a natural way. Yeah. I'm now kind of like, you know, I'm. I'm. You know, I found out that we're the same age as the Sex and the City women when the show started. That's fabulous. That means we have six more years. It actually made me. It made me into. We have six more years until. Too old for the industry. It actually made me feel young. Does that feel. Does that make sense? Totally. Cause it's like, I feel like you watch TV now, and, like, do you ever watch a show and it's people in college, and you're like, these people are older than me. Like, just your. Your natural thing is to be like, I'm watching people in college. They're old. You know what I mean? Like, Jared has been rewatching Felicity. Right. And it's like, you watch Felicity, and you're like, oh, my God, they're in college. They're, like, doing it, but they're. They're acting. They're behaving like Gen Xers. Exactly. Like, it's like. It's. Right. But also, I guess what I mean is, like, sometimes I watch TV now, and I'll be watching it from a certain point of view, and then they'll say their age, and. And I'm like, oh, my God, the people in this show are nine years younger than me. Oh. And I'll be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That happened with adults, where I'm like, right. This is not. I'm officially not in the sort of zone of the show, narratively. And that's. And it was great. Well, it's also. It's kind of liberating. You know how they say, like, the 18 to 35 demographic, we're out of that. That's scary to be out of that. We're still in 18 to 49. It's okay, right? Okay. It's 18 to 49. Right. That's like the demographic. But 18 to 35 is maybe another. Is another breakdown of. You know what? A lot of demographic quizzes end at 35. Right. Which makes you feel very much older than 35 when you're 36. Yes. Yeah. And you're not even 36 yet. I will be by the time this episode comes out. Oh, my gosh. Birthday week. You're so low key about it. I don't care for my birthday. I knew that about you. Okay, so I'm just gonna reveal something to you. I was group texted by one Michelle Kung. Oh. To me and Jared Frieder. Yes. And she said you birthdays, Birthdays. Bowen is coming.
